I really need help with proportion. With the face mostly, but also for example, how to angle the body, interesting poses, shading locations, but mostly how I can put eyes, a nose and a mouth without feeling like its out of proportion. Any sites or tutorials of your own?

-ideal height for a human is 8 heads high for a fully grown adult

7 year old- 6 heads, 3 and half 5 heads, and 1 year old 4 heads. Remember this is ideal. It all depends on your height.

face
-eye are in the middle of the face
- eyebrow are 1/3 between the hair line and chin
- nose is 1/3 of face. The nose ends up with the end of the eyes
- eye may vary. some are closer and are father away. ideal is 1 eye width
- end of lip end up middle of the eyes. iit's located 1/3 between nose and chin.

Huh, I did not notice that...! P; In a way, that is quite true. I have never tried measuring my picture legs since they are usually bending. Hmm

Another nice trick I do to make sure the eye width and space between the eyes is accurate is measure the length of one eye with your 2 fingers, and it should be close to the same length as that space between the two eyes. If not, the eyes are too far apart or too close. HAha, an art teacher taught me this. It was fun putting a simple technique and seeing it greatly help!_________________“Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checked by failure...than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.” ~Theodore Roosevelt
